Would not recommend this tour guide - booked 3 days in advance, didn’t turn up to collect us or attempt to contact us. We waited an hour before our hotel called the guide, who simply said it’d been cancelled due to no tickets being available for the YSL gardens. And that he’d emailed me. And THEN we magically received an email about cancellation, over an hour after the tour was supposed to begin.
We had booked this tour and also had to purchase tickets to the gardens separately before the tour which I did. The 2pm tour was cancelled at 10 am the same day by email which i didn't see until about 1pm because I do not check emails constantly on holidays. The tour was refunded but the tickets to the gardens are none refundable.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR LAST 40 MINUTES IN FRONT OF HOTEL ISLANE, THE MEETING POINT, NOBODY CALLED OR WROTE A MESSAGE AND NOBODY SHOWED UP. PLS I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

No one at the meeting place when trying to contact the person she doesn't really respond very disappointed to flee
Trip cancelled with any advice. Kept waiting at pick up point for over one hour. Company promised refund within the hour .not made after 6 hours. Not responding to calls or emails.very poor
The tour operator forgot about us, leaving us standing in the heat for almost an hour. Eventually made contact via WhatsApp and a guide was sent. Faycal was a very good guide and the delay was not his fault, He made changes to the tour to suit us. However, there were too many shopping stops.
Booked with Sabir’s Desert Odyssy Our so called private tour guide was just a taxi driver. He just dropped us at locations and told us to call him when finished. No information about anything around the city. The tour description says includes admission to souk, main square ( these are free to roam) also mosque ( can’t get entry to mosque anyway). Finished up dropping us off at some medicinal shop. Trapped into listening to a talk on oils etc then given the hard sell. Paid £106 for a taxi service. Total rip off. Do not waste your money !!!
It’s not what I expected on a city tour, but it did. Taxi tour. Thank you.
Fischal spoke fluent English. Very kind and friendly. Knew so much about the city. Catered to our needs. Highly recommend it!
We had the pleasure of having as guide Youssef a very prepared, helpful, patient and nice person who showed us a Marrakech in its entirety and peculiarity combining the most 'traditional part of the Medina with the most modern! Great experience I highly recommend!
